I guess hoping for a good draft pick is considered bargaining
Oh full 5 lmao, let’s go Lions!
Been at acceptance since sometime in week 3. Honestly my life is so much easier when we suck because I don’t devote nearly as much mental and emotional energy to the team. Spend 3 hours watching them lose, then go about the rest of my Sunday without stress.
I’m off the chart. Totally apathetic. The game is on the TV on Sundays, but it’s background noise. Can’t find myself to really care until the franchise starts caring enough to be competitive.
Acceptance
Acceptance. Feeling great over here.
Acceptance, been there since week 2.
I think for some reason I did a speed rush right to acceptance at week 5. We suck. This is a bad football team with a bad coach.
Where is ignorance… because I’ve been ignoring this team since the bye
Definitely anger.
Acceptance. Hoping for a good draft spot for yet another new QB next year that will hopefully dig us out of purgatory and keep us out for 5-6 years at least
Changes by the hour but all 5 🥲
If you’re not in acceptance, get their quick. Accept that this team is awful, expect to be destroyed every week, and save your hope and emotional investment for the next offseason.
I’ve been at Acceptance for a while now. It’s opened up my Sundays to other things than watching the Titans play. I’ll watch it if I’m home but I don’t feel emotionally tied to the need to watch or the outcome at all. I expect to check in on the game later and see how much we are losing or have lost by. Like this week, I saw our opening drive TD…did some other things and check in and we were losing in the 4th quarter just like I expected. It’s my stress free way of caring about the Titans. If they don’t care enough to field a winning team in any aspect I don’t care enough to schedule my personal time around watching.
I was at acceptance during the off-season because I knew the season we’re currently experiencing was a very probable outcome. This season was *always* about evaluating Levis and letting Callahan develop and implement his scheme. I though us looking immediately competitive again was *possible* but nothing Levis showed us last season had me thinking that was anything close to a foregone conclusion.
Our Super Bowl window was from the moment Tannehill took over for Mariota in 2019 until the divisional loss against the Bengals in the 2022 playoffs. The matriculation of players from the core unit in that window peaking in the 2022 offseason combined with one of the worst drafting and free agent acquisition streaks our franchise necessitated a rebuild after that. Unless we got *extremely* lucky and found a future franchise QB in the second round in Levis, this team was not competing until 2025-2026 at a minimum regardless.
acceptance already
Acceptance. If next season is as horrific, it’ll quickly turn into apathy and that’s the worst point to be at.
Denial at Will Levis being bad, Acceptance that we lose every week
Been at acceptance since week 2 or 3
Acceptance
Acceptance before the season started
Y’all should get over to acceptance with me. I’m very productive on Sundays now
I still enjoy watching the games, i get excited over things that happen (Levis to Ridley) and things that don’t (sack fumble for TD) and love it.
I have stopped following the game thread and reading the comments because it has become such a cesspool of negativity, people in there, who obviously aren’t fans, but are pissed off about whatever. I used to really like to follow the game thread as I watched, it was like watching the game with your buds and enjoying their comments and insight. But somewhere that thread took a sharp turn into meanness and griping and hate and people actively rooting for Titans and individual players to fail. I have enjoyed being the Titans fan so much more since I quit participating in the game thread!
Acceptance since Week 6. There’s just something about our first game against the Colts that sets my expectations for the year. At least we’re the only team to win this November
I caught a play yesterday while the titans were on. My Sunday afternoon felt amazing
Acceptance is where I am at. Got there whenever we played the Dolphins. It finally hit me at that point unfortunately.

Reached acceptance shortly after halftime of the packers game
Edit: written from my hotel room in LA. Maybe I have some kinda punishment fetish
Acceptance about a week after Henry had his farewell speech last year.
Acceptance easily
I’ve been at acceptance for awhile. I honestly think Callahan and company is the major problem. Ran has made mostly good moves and with the right staff the team can turn around this offseason.
Acceptance up until game day and then I’m angry all over again
Week 1: Denial
Week 2: Denial
Week 3: Bargaining
Week 4: Depression
Week 5: Acceptance
Week 6+: Actively rooting for (close) losses to improve draft position and being disappointed because this team either gets blown out or wins a close game. Being blown out feels worse in the moment, but a meaningless win against the Patriots will feel pretty bad on draft day. It’s hard to say what’s worse. In either case we get to see very little competent football.
I’m kind of glad we didn’t win. I’d still have hope for winning the AFC South considering how shitty our whole division is.
Acceptance, though the no fumble call yesterday got under my skin a bit.
Acceptance since drafting Levis.
Acceptance. I knew going into the season it was gonna be a tough year. With the schedule and the roster I thought the o/u on wins at 5 was fair.
Acceptance… unfortunately
I thought I was at acceptance last week but there was still some disappointment felt watching us struggle. This week I felt nothing so I’d say I’m finally free for the rest of the season.
Stage 6: not quite happy acceptance, but more general apathy for the rest of the season. I’ll still watch and root for our guys to get better, but it’s getting clearer and clearer that Levis probably isn’t the guy leading the team out of our new stadium in a few years. I have no real reaction to a loss now and just move about my day
